We're certainly leading the way in per capita emissions and will continue to do so even under this government's targets, assuming you even get anywhere near meeting them.
A government senator: Question?
Yes, I'm coming to the question. Thanks so much for the reminder. The catastrophic bushfires, half-dead reef and crippling drought are products of just one degree of warming. Your policies have us on track for three degrees of warming or more. Why is your government prepared to accept the catastrophe that will result? Do you accept the science of climate change, which requires a 60 per cent reduction by 2030? (Time expired)
